That's a good idea, Patrick. I might consider that but with a guy offering to do it for only $150, it's very tempting to let someone else deal with any hassles that may come up with the install. Plus I'm always a little uncomfortable being under a car that's high up on jack stands for an extended period of time.

speaking of ass hats, I'm doing a ton of audit stuff at work and the guy running the department we have to audit is one of the biggest ass hats I've ever met. I could run his department better than he can. I have a feeling he won't be here much longer. I've already joked about applying for his postion and my boss is all for it.
It's really not even worth taking the time to explain lol.
Yay for promotions!
Daaaaamn them some wide winter tires. But yeah, definitely a helluva deal for sure.
I'd recommend getting the Flyin' Miata Happy Meal clutch pack if you haven't already decided on one. Upgraded clutch and flywheel for one price. I'm probably going to do that over the winter.
A guy who owns a Mazdaspeed6 posted on Ohio Mazdaspeeds facebook group about him going 150 MPH and a 350z not being able to keep up. Which is amusing since the top speed is 156 for a 350, so obviously he just did a ricer fly by way over the speed limit. Street racing is no joke, though. Those MS6 owners.. SMH.

Are you going to have Glen fix your 6 speed?

I left too, so not missing much I see.
Hello All!! Quick update: supposed to start chemo this thu, but nurse called me this am and my white blood cell count is low, too low to start chemo : / she's hoping it was just a fluke, so i went this afternoon for another blood test. fingers crossed. not that i WANT to start chemo, but i DO want to get the show on the road ... the sooner we start, the sooner we finish and life will go on ..... back to as normal as it gets, eh? i have started back to work part time, mon, wed, fri for a few hours a day ... baby steps!
my story for the day: went over to conrad's on snow to fill up my air tank. pulled in next to a hoopty minivan in front of the air tank. i hear the guy putting air in the tires say to the lady in the van "you said these are new tires?" and she says "yes, so they shouldn't be low" and he says "new or re-treaded?" and she says "re-tread" and he says "they are gone to s*** already, you can see the steel tread coming through" and i look over and see a big CHUNK of tire (a good 4" long maybe) coming off the contact surface of the tire ... yuck and SCARY! who re-treads tires anymore? people who don't have money for new tires, i suppose. i felt bad for the lady. waste money on re-tread and need a new tire(s) anyway ... from the look of that tire, never saw anything like it, that looks DAMN UNSAFE!!! hopefully she only putz's around town and doesn't hit the highway!!
happy tuesday!!
I rock that size in the winter on the STi. That's the stock size tire.
From all the information you've provided I would continue on with the clutch you have until it is either slipping all the time or the oil leak you mentioned is bad enough that you have to do something. From your description it doesn't sound to me like the clutch needs to be replaced.
Hope everything goes well with your blood test and chemo Lauri!!!
That's scary about the tires, like you I didn't even know you could get a re-tread still. I've just heard rumors of this like it's some fictional process from the old days.

That is still being debated. Now that I have a plan for the Honda, I'd rather put the extra money into that, but transmission is definitely on my mind.
Dang. Here I am rocking 185's for the winter. Granted a more narrow tire works better for cutting thru snow, but yea...
I got a good deal on the 245s. Otherwise I would've ended up with 17's and 225s.
